I recently just
finished The Fault in Our Stars by
John Green and it was one of the best books I have ever read. The novel is
about a girl named Hazel, dealing with terminal cancer and how she meets
Augustus. He is a recent survivor of cancer as well. The story follows their
relationship and how they deal with being sick but making the best of what they
have while they’re still alive. It’s such an inspiring book and there’s no part
of the book where I was bored; I read the whole thing in a day it was that
good. Augustus and Hazel’s relationship isn’t too sappy or girly and their
discussions were really deep and got me thinking, which I really loved about
the book. It completely changes your view on life and I’ve never thought a book
could do that but this one did for sure. I completely recommend it to anybody.
Along with my CPR
book were reading Romeo and Juliet. I’ve
read a Mid Summer’s Night Dream last
year and I did not understand any part of it. However, I’m doing a good job
understanding and analyzing this play so I’m really enjoying the story. My
favorite part about reading Shakespeare is the humor he puts in. You have to
think about it for a while, but once you get it, it’s pretty clever. He’s an
artist in his writing so it’s hard to understand long speeches that some of the
character’s give. I have to reread and decode what they say, which can be
tedious work. However, it’s worth it because the story is really intriguing and
tragic.
